The Valveteen Cabinet
The Valveteen Cabinet
By Greg Schlueter
With a bunch of younger kids there were things we didn't bother fixing. Particularly after the second or third time. Door knobs. Cabinet hinges. Chairs. Each new blemish or brokenness met with resignation. Sometimes an expletive. Worn carpet. Chipped paint. Wall stains.

What Scripture does not say
What Scripture does not say
By De Maria
There’s an interesting discussion going on in the comments to the Paradigm article. Thanks to all who are participating there. The idea that is surfacing is that Protestants make up doctrine according to what they claim, “Scripture does not say”.

What Role Do Works Play In Our Salvation?
What Role Do Works Play In Our Salvation?
By De Maria
Jesus is pretty clear about it. Let’s look at the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats. When Jesus comes to judge the world, He shall first separate the good from the wicked. The sheep are the good. The goats are the wicked. Then, He addresses the sheep and He tells them that they are going to heaven.

What Does A Black Crow Have To Do With The Movie Tomorrowland?
What Does A Black Crow Have To Do With The Movie Tomorrowland?
By Peggy O'Flaherty
Have you had a chance to see the movie Tomorrowland? In it, the main character, a young heroine, repeats a story back to her father, in his moment of defeat, a story he told her during her childhood. In the story there are two wolves: one is darkness and one is light. “Which one wins?” she questions him. After a pause she continues, “The one you feed the most.”

Do we reap what we sow?
Do we reap what we sow?
By De Maria
Protestants frequently claim that St. Paul teaches that we are saved by faith alone. This is based upon their understanding of Romans 3:28: Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Lilacs, Rwanda, Immacule and Women's Inner Strength
By Peggy O'Flaherty
Have you noticed the lilac bushes are in bloom? In the Midwest every spring in early May the streets and yards are lined with beautiful purple fragrant lilacs. Perhaps you grew up with a Common lilac, Persian lilac, Dwarf Korean variety, Himalayan, Chinese lilac or even a lilac tree.

Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, other Catholics
Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, other Catholics
By De Maria
I've heard this one before from Protestants. Many of us don't give a very good example of Christian living. Look at the Kennedys. Our beloved President, John F. Kennedy, flaunted his affairs before the whole world. Our Supreme Court is mostly Catholic. Have they overturned Rowe vs Wade? No. If anything, they've solidified it.

Creative Ways to Manage Household Finances and Rely on Faith
Creative Ways to Manage Household Finances and Rely on Faith
By Peggy O'Flaherty
Each month as the household bills come rolling in and we watch the scale tip; too much money going out and not enough coming in – it can be a hard pill to swallow. It is emotionally draining, pounding on the ego, frustrating and very easy to become envious of what others have and doubting of decisions that brought us to this point.

How Do You Make Your Calling Sure - by Faith Alone, or by Faith and Works?
How Do You Make Your Calling Sure - by Faith Alone, or by Faith and Works?
By De Maria
What does it mean to make one's calling and election sure? St. Peter uses this phrase, "make your calling and election sure" in his 2nd epistle. He says: 2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Why did Jesus give Simon the name, "Rock"?
Why did Jesus give Simon the name, "Rock"?
By De Maria
Perhaps you never wondered. Here’s why. Because He wanted all to know that Simon would be he to whom all must turn who want to know God’s will. There is a precedent for this in Scripture

Second String
Second String
By Mary Ann Gambill
Aaron actually showed interest in using scissors today. It's the little things that are big things around here. The little are big. The upside down kingdom that we live in, that Jesus lives in. Don't worry. We don't need big things. We are good with it. In fact, it's how we like it.

But, LORD, I Homeschooled Him!
But, LORD, I Homeschooled Him!
By Jennifer Elia
Well, school has begun. After months of researching, planning, charts, lists, and book shopping--we are here in our school, which looks an awful lot like our kitchen. While others are posting about first day victory dances at the bus stops, champagne toasts, and kid-free afternoon celebrations; us homeschoolers are breathing deeply, girding our loins and plowing ahead.

The Bicycle
The Bicycle
By E.M. Wilson
So a few days back I was talking with my cousin and somehow the topic of heaven came up. I told him that I want to see what the Saints see when they die- I want the Beatific Vision, which, just to put us all on the same page, is the direct communication of God to the individual person (ie heaven in full) and my cousin was like "ooohhhhhh no I could never be a saint."

Not by any of the 5 Alones
Not by any of the 5 Alones
By De Maria
Most of you have heard of faith alone and Scripture alone. But you would probably be surprised to find out that there are actually 5 Protestant doctrines to which they appended the word, “alone”. And all 5 are heresies.

You don't believe in Baptism?
You don't believe in Baptism?
By De Maria
Naaman didn't believe in Baptism either. When Elisha said to Naaman: 2 Kings 5: 10 Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. Naaman didn't believe that God could heal him by any water much less in the Jordan's waters saying: 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?

The Brothers of Jesus
The Brothers of Jesus
By De Maria
Protestants frequently try to go through Scripture pointing out that many people are called "brothers" of Christ. This, they claim, proves that Mary had more children. Never mind that these purported "brothers" of Christ can be traced to another mother and father. Let me show you:

Why Catholics Don't Celebrate Mary's Birthday: 5 unique ways you can
By Rex Teodosio
On September 8, the Catholic world once again celebrates the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s Nativity. It is otherwise called Our Lady's birthday. Oddly, most Catholics don’t really celebrate it.
